Very informative and important paper.
I would just like to add that flexion of the spine can also be a result of the pelvis rotating posteriorly, which is called a posterior innominate. Comparing the PSIS to the ground in neutral calcaneal stance position to relaxed calcaneal stance position will help in ascertaining how orthoses will help in unilateral cases.
I am presently doing a study on the relationship of the lateral talus subluxation to the posterior innominate.
Eventually, we should become part of the team to treat the back.
